Downy quilt all finished.
#1
I am so pleased with it. I was going to just update my original thread but was too excited to figure out how.
I was surprised how fast it went together. I think hand sewing the binding on took the longest to do. And boy did my hands hurt, lots and lots of tiny stitches. I took lots of pictures so I can document my projects.
I quilted it with a straight diagonal across the focus squares and then SID in between, (sorta) the black and white squares and around the borders. I need lots more practice with SID.
I wish they would take pictures of the quilts we send with the kids they are given to. that would be so cool. I know they are too busy and that is not realistic, but it would be fun.
Ok, on to the next project. After I clean up my mess of course.

How about "Puppy Paws"? Never named a quilt before!
But I need to ask, what is a Downy Quilt? I am a newbie.

Downy will send you a kit with precut fabric that you make and send back to them. They then distribute them to children in hospitals around the country. Many cities have local ppl that are affiliated and can see that your quilts are given to local kids.
Anyway, I asked for one, finished it, and made an extra because it was so fun and easy to do. I just have to quilt them next week!
